Hospitals lauded for cutting energy use

American Society for Healthcare Engineering has recognized the hospitals' efforts as part of its Energy to Care program


The American Society for Healthcare Engineering (ASHE) has recognized hospitals in several states for slashing energy use, reducing operational costs and freeing up more resources for patient care, according to an article on the Medical Construction & Design website.

ASHE recognized the efforts as part of its Energy to Care program, formerly called the Energy Efficiency Commitment program. The program encourages hospitals across the country to reduce their energy consumption by 10 percent or more over their baseline energy consumption.
